self reports to me and then only reports at end of dungeon

chrome falcon
#

if you get hit by something in a key

#

even something minor

#

and i make a point to tell you

sick sentinel
#

or if i tell it to report at end of dungeon

chrome falcon
#

that makes me a dick

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

but what are u gonna do with that info when the key is done

chilly brook
#

I don't care

dawn canyon
#

But the insta "got hit lol" sux

chilly brook
#

about how much I got hit

sick sentinel
#

tell that warlock not to tank

chilly brook
#

did I die?

frosty ridge
#

why tell it to report at all, just look at it

sick sentinel
#

1 million damage

#

when he can death pact

urban portal
#

Save it to yourself

chilly brook
#

What if I took a hit on purpose?

sick sentinel
#

and tank more than u

urban portal
#

And yogi you play in a 10

chrome falcon
#

if the rest of your group wanted to know if they got hit

#

they'd have the addon too

sick sentinel
#

enraged degen

chrome falcon
#

you don't post dps after every key right

urban portal
#

If there’s a wipe it’s not going to be standing in fire

sick sentinel
#

tank some shit

#

and more dps

dawn canyon
#

Depends on how i did

sick sentinel
#

10 so far, this is a 12 dos now

urban portal
#

Subtracting the healer

#

I go for hps parsed

sick sentinel
#

might have at 15 by end of tonight

dawn canyon
#

I never Post intteruptsratge

dawn canyon
chrome falcon
#

posting interrupts would be hilarious

chilly brook
#

I honestly just make it a point to never group with anyone who has EH

chrome falcon
#

because tank is also 2x second place

chilly brook
#

Everyone I've ever done keys with

#

Groans about how cringe it is

sick sentinel
#

and gm kicked him

#

xd

#

invited him back

#

later

#

made him a trial ratge

dawn canyon
#

Based

sick sentinel
#

again

chilly brook
#

Especially because 9/10 times the person with it literally fails in every aspect of the game

#

bad healing

#

bad damage

sick sentinel
chilly brook
#

bad mechanics awareness

sick sentinel
#

to point out that melee is harder

distant crystal
#

damn ya'll having a nice little jerk in here

dawn canyon
distant crystal
#

brb installing EH

dawn canyon
#

The holy paladins have this Youtuber they make fun of for a shit Video like that

chilly brook
#

EH is the Pawn of group content

dawn canyon
#

Reminds me of that gladge

sick sentinel
distant crystal
#

always good to have more metrics to flame your friends about

chilly brook
#

wtf

#

why do you have that installed

#

you're a tank equip ilvl

#

if it's the same ilvl sim

dawn canyon
#

Yogi also uses tukui

#

So ye

sick sentinel
#

take the one with more haste

#

if same ilvl

#

if not ilvl >>>>>>>

chilly brook
#

pawn is literally useless unless you generate a pawn string from a raidbots sim everytime you replace a piece of gear to begin with

sick sentinel
steel mist
#

i noticed that there are some people going crit haste instead oh haste vers

dawn canyon
#

If u cant get vers

#

Why not crit

#

Dont hurt

chilly brook
#

it doesn't matter in the long run

sick sentinel
#

just take haste

#

crit increases parry, and if you parry an attack it does zero damage and can reset your revenge, which can reset your SS

#

that is the short version of why crit

dawn canyon
sick sentinel
#

partly, and damage

dawn canyon
#

Maybe oddball shit like gladius

chilly brook
#

Revenge! is PPM

#

having more parry has no impact

#

it's literally just damage

sick sentinel
#

i thought there was an if you parry X can happen, maybe thats SS ?

#

simcraft

#

twitch emotes to spam guild chat with :tf:

sick sentinel
#

whenever i fail a mechanic in raid

chilly brook
#

which is PPM

#

Aka

#

Procs Per Minute

dawn canyon
chilly brook
#

Aka it's capped

#

Aka you only get like 2? per minute

sick sentinel
#

astral k eys as well

#

oh, so thats actually fixed, less or minus haste or cdr maybe

urban portal
#

Yeah

dawn canyon
#

I dont have that but i have mdt

sick sentinel
#

fair

urban portal
#

X procs *haste

sick sentinel
#

why are u having a talk about irrelevant info

dawn canyon
#

P sure weakauras is only mandatory addon

sick sentinel
#

all secondaries are fine

dawn canyon
#

Tru

sick sentinel
#

just

#

take ilvl

chilly brook
urban portal
#

Ilvl is op

sick sentinel
chilly brook
#

press your buttons better

#

everything else falls into place

sick sentinel
#

love those at what point does X stat get DR?

#

u play dps so just sim yoself

#

and stfu

urban portal
#

Those are the same ppl who are 260 Ilvl

#

Not even close to bis gear

sick sentinel
#

ye

#

stacks can build up really quickly for items with low ICD such as slimey consumptive organ, it has a 20s cd, but its effect can proc pretty quickly the stacks

#

nome was saying it takes like, a minute, to reach full stacks and with a few extra mobs, i was able to get ( i think 9?) stacks before the 20s cd would be ready

chilly brook
#

Quite literally

sick sentinel
#

i personally have no idea about these

sick sentinel
#

i just press buttons and hope the soulbind works

#

so, i noticed when we did some of the fights, those dudes would spawn with the bosses

chilly brook
#

yes

#

every boss

sick sentinel
#

no idea what thats about, but we killed a different one, the ranged cross bow guy on one of the bosses im pretty sure, no idea how you tell which cdr vs haste one you do

chilly brook
#

by the nameplate

#

every boss has a set of relics

sick sentinel
#

i mean how to apply the knowledge of which to kill

#

sory

chilly brook
#

kill urh

#

urh=CDR

#

it's the same one

#

they don't change

dawn canyon
#

I swear Urh is better Boss dam for fury than vy

#

But all pugs love vy

chilly brook
#

nah fam everyone just kills urh

sick sentinel
#

i dunno if i can get awy with doing t he 9.1 route but thats what im tempted to do

dawn canyon
#

Will be playable

shell shale
#

Vy is decent with very specific comps and specific boss fights otherwise urh all the way

sick sentinel
#

healer somehow died to whatever on the 2 tornadoe platforms, probably tornadoes, had to run back

#

RIP the entire buff

#

take too long to get healer for 12 dos, would hate wo wait 45 minutes and then group sucks

shell shale
#

Yeah pugging keys under 15 are something else.

sick sentinel
#

i've always said if you want to experience hell tank a 16 with full random pugs and and no voice chat

shell shale
#

Nah 16s are better than 15s

#

Because 15s are the people just trying to get their max ilvl vault reward

#

16 is a hit or miss

naive panther
#

I'd rather run 20s, faster than 15s

shell shale
#

Yeah I do 20s too

#

Guys around there do more dmg. Know the dungeons and sometimes interrupt

lyric geode

Wow keeps dcing me

In the middle of a key

vernal vale

i should start doing this i hate it so much

There are no add-ons that are required to cutting edge, keystone hero, or gladiator.

#

What leggo do you guys play for max damage in safe situations? like low keys or lfr

#

i was playing with signet and its kinda fun bladestorming as prot

timber slate
sick sentinel
#

well, numbers yes, block, no

thorny stone
#

I fucked up my key by accidentally pulling the dragon on ardenweald (DoS) with codex

#

Going full dps on trinkets from now on

sick sentinel
#

i dont think this ell happ

teal swift
#

Weak auras can replace every other addon as well.

#

But, what I'm saying.... Is you don't need a single addon.

mighty valley
chrome falcon
sick sentinel
#

its not much but i got this anyway for tomorrow, spires was as you'd except, from me

timber slate
#

Cool

#

Keep up the good work

cloud onyx
#

For m+ prot which covenant is best

mighty valley
#

necro's good if you can play it well

#

just gotta keep pulling fast and really mash your buttons

cloud onyx
#

Fair, yea necro looks strong. I was reading its better in a set group rather than pugs

chrome falcon
#

nah

#

like you'd think so

#

but the banner dps you give your group doesn't matter much

#

you just pop that shit for yourself

mighty valley
#

used to be that most of the power was in trying to buff busted moonkins or whatever

cloud onyx
#

Fair, so we just use the banner for mastery and movement speed?

shell shale
#

Conduit

chrome falcon
#

and 22% strength and 4 rage per second

mighty valley
#

it's... an enormous self buff

cloud onyx
#

Oh yea, thats juicy. Yea I remember something about rotating leap and charge to keep it rolling

mighty valley
#

just maximize rage in and rage out

cloud onyx
#

Ok fair, sounds simple enough. Played prot warr end of bfa, played s1 sl with prot pally. Wanted to give warr another try

chrome falcon
#

you're not doing that to keep banner up

#

you're already doing it for anger management, and outburst

cloud onyx
#

Alright cool

tight aurora
#

wtb NA horde tank for heroic xymox please god i just need some new parses

vast grove
#

I keep running into an issue while doing mythic dungeons. I dont use mouse over macros, but there are several times when I target enemies the enemies aggro to me, as if I taunted, or used an ability against the target. I will even be outside of the range of taunt or throw weapon and I will still somehow gain aggro. It happens even at the beginning of boss fights.

is this some weird interaction with my gear/abilities? or is this a glitch? I reported it as a bug, but I am not sure what is going on.

queen pumice
#

@vast grove maybe codex issue

chrome falcon
#

codex is bugged

#

sometimes it'll just pull shit when you target it

median tulip
#

It's not bugged. The damage it reflects goes to your primary target. Don't want to pull? Don't target stuff you're not in combat with.

trim bay
#

savage

#

what would wo do

orchid garden
#

Whenever I switch from fury/arms to prot and have my Unity swap automatically, it bugs aswell.
Just Unequip and equip Unity again.

trim bay
#

can we leap over the rings in xymox

#

or does it not work like nfae

shell shale
#

You will die

#

well

#

Get hit

trim bay
#

kk, did you just use nfae or venth skip?

jagged pier
#

u use the portal

#

/ its the other tanks job

raven hatch
#

do we have a intervene target of target macro kicking about?

strong forum
#

/cast [target=targeoftarget] Intervene?

Probably smth like that?

It's "target=targettarget"

hello frens

#

I go tonk Rygelon tonight with mah DK friend

#

any cool tricks I can do?

timber slate
#

Do your bestxeos

lime urchin
timber slate
#

I only did LFR xD
Can’t help you much😣

torpid carbon
#

Rygelon is free as prot

#

Just make sure to have sb and ip up for tankhit

#

Demo and sr also when its up

sick sentinel
#

You know that one pull in spires after first boss, 2 giants withatrols beside it

#

Well, I charged at the giants while the pat was beside, didn't click in my head till character was charging

timber slate
#

2 giants with a troll?🤔

sick sentinel
#

It was a yogi key

#

That's best way to put it

timber slate
#

Lets do a double prot warrior key soonxeos

median tulip
lime urchin
#

That’s an easy reflect into shockwave for big dmg meter

tropic linden
#

ppl almost always interupt those fuckers for me

#

almost never pulled this off 100%

sick sentinel
#

i just wasn't expecting the second group to pull

#

wasn't on mdt, got us all fucked up, whole bunch of mana worm things casting magic shit on group and me not having aggro

timber slate
#

They never interrupt the ranged adds in my case lol

#

Always have to group it back with the pack😑

sick sentinel
#

you can do it with intimidating shout as well, but i have cow stomp aoe 8 yard or 5 yard circle stun all around me

#

so, i do that first, and then SR, if done correctly, they'll all be casting at same time and then SR will reflect all or more of them, not 100% sure how that works

lime urchin
sick sentinel
#

well, what i normally do there right is i take the taxi over, and tag 1 of the 2 visibiles, kill that pack, wait for the far patrol beyond 2 giants pack, and tghen go pull giants, once all thats done leap at birds, then i'm first in and i can control the interupt/SR

#

when i was kyrian, it also gave me a chance to loot spear

#

Question: Do i have to taunt the square/circle/stars before they are actual kill for monster buffs?like, i see them running around the map...... are they going around meleeing shit?

#

still freaks me out when i see them spawn on bosses and they follow and "attack' my party

tropic linden
#

Just forgot we can comunicate with pugs

timber slate
#

You can target them, but make sure to taunt Urh when he spawns

sick sentinel
#

when they are just shapes running around the room they are literal zero threat correct?

#

can't do any melee or any spell, maybe just some aura debuff is what im expecting

timber slate
#

They have really low hp and i dont think they do any damage

lime urchin
#

It’s just like any other pack with multiple enemies.

sick sentinel
#

like i say, its just scary pull a boss and then 3 add thingies pop up and start moving around

#

i'll get over it

lime urchin
sick sentinel
#

quick messages for m+/raids/pvp/ baseline in the game could be nice

median tulip
sick sentinel
#

i mean, he's 3 times the size of any mob, so its not like its hard to not get the taunt lol

#

i think i have to put ravager to just set on the ground in front of me though, takes too many gcd's away from me if i try to select it manual

strong forum
#

It's moreso the relic

if i want that extra daily q in ZM - is that part of doing something in the campaign or is it a side q?

chrome falcon
strong forum
#

Hard to replicate when it's up for 1sec tops

#

However

#

I could pull a pack with bek

#

That's some next level shit

#

I got into combat by applying bek to a 100% hp target out of combat

chrome falcon
#

bizarre

grave crane
chrome falcon
#

can't believe the bug isn't fixed, i kinda understood it when no-one was using the trinket at all last patch but it's a very popular choice atm

orchid frigate
#

ty!

grave crane
#

I forgot what it’s called but whatever upgrades the little dude can also unlock extra quest

strong forum
#

Simply cuz the lack of Str is not fucking worth

#

The only tank who uses it seriously is vdh

#

And bdks in ultra keys

sick sentinel
#

when you put it this way, do you really think we need another evoker tank spec lol

strong forum
#

No

#

Literally everybody is happy we don't get another tank

sick sentinel
#

i bet u some guy has gone and taken all the remaining trogdor names on all the servers,

strong forum
#

4/6 tanks are literally not being used in raid

#

You have 300 monks 300 bdks on rygelon

#

Then 5 vdh 3 guardian 5 pallys and 2 pwars or some shit

#

Adding another tank wouldn't help

chrome falcon
#

monk players need to get over their stockholm syndrome

sick sentinel
#

ah surprise guys, my wow magically didn't record my 14 spires some how that i failed immensly on so i can't upload it to youtube for review

#

oh no

#

like, it knows it was recorded, cuz it has the APM timeline, the video just poofed

chilly brook
#

I would have liked to have seen another one personally

sick sentinel
#

5000% dead video

chilly brook
strange lintel
#

Honestly another tank when more than half the ones we got are just outright ignored sounds terrible

chrome falcon
#

yeah i dunno vdh right now is barely a real spec imo

#

and atm we're HARD carried by borrowed power

#

fucking hate druid too tbh

#

much rather they spend energy on getting the bottom 3 tanks in a better spot than just making some new gimmicky bullshit

sick sentinel
#

im not sure yet if these dragons will be lame or cool

strange lintel
#

They look downright uncanny lol

#

Specially their human forms

sick sentinel
#

but there is the very real possiblity of both polar opposites occuring

#

we could get some real shit derpy lookin dragon boss makes whole expansion meme

strange lintel
#

Galakrond / giant leader dude / probably some boss tie in with next xpack

sick sentinel
#

i'll say that shadowlands right now is inifnitely better than how it launched

#

still hate the maw, torghast is fun,

urban portal
#

Why are you going into the maw in the first place

distant crystal
#

my guildy was miffed that nobody wanted to sell keys all day on weekdays so he started sellinng torghast runs

#

mf ran like 100 torgs this weekend

median tulip

Who on earth buys Torghast runs?!

distant crystal

fresh boosts

The biggest danger in choreghast is falling asleep

distant crystal

gotta get that soul ash/cinders/renown

timber slate
distant crystal
#

but dragons aren't furry

median tulip
#

Are they still Furries when it's a lizard?

timber slate
#

Scalies
But isnt furry the global term?

#

Scalies are a subspecies of Furry. Instead of having fur, they have scales or similar

timber slate
#

Also its probably gonna be like DH
2-3 buttons rotation

urban portal
#

Nah

#

I’d guess it’s like frost mage

#

But a bit faster

chrome falcon
#

i'm kinda hoping that evoker is a bit more complex

#

after dh being giga braindead

median tulip
timber slate
#

🤣

obtuse monolith
#

When DH momentum was a thing at least "not falling off" became a minigame

median tulip
#

DH should not have been a class; it should have been Warlocks 4th (tank) spec

#

people hated momentum for that reason

i did these ones

A 14 is 275

sick sentinel
#

ohh

275 is pretty good

#

oof

#

yea it is

urban portal
#

It’s sad to look at 275 gear

sick sentinel
#

close enough

urban portal
#

Cuz they know someone was lazy to do a 15

sick sentinel
#

i just screwed the key, if i had pushed it i would have completed 15

urban portal
#

Do you at least have the log

sick sentinel
#

i got a 4pc, but 2 parts of it are LFR, and i got 80 on NL, so i'm pretty set, its just learning to do rotation

#

unsure about log, just only 2 wipes was the double pull and we died on start boss 1, pull 1 was fucky as well (no group los they went with me)

U did 4.8k in a 14 DoS 🤔

spiral warren
timber slate
#

Get the shoulder and turn them into a tier piece

sick sentinel
#

i think take the shoulders and exchange them for set and then upgrade set pieces

#

i thought i heard the trinket is bad and its low ilvl, seems interesting

spiral warren
#

The trinket is always “good”

#

Just a generic stat stick

sick sentinel
#

cant upgrade shield from lfr right?

upper spoke
#

So' Leah's Secret Technique from vault any good?

its meh

median tulip

It's a solid enough chunk of stats

sick sentinel
#

if it was my 275 reward..... yeah....

median tulip

I wish it lasted an hour though. 30 mins is not enough

depends is it a 30 minute cd to use or 3

theres a joke about the panda dungeon where you have to bomb a gate there

woven lance

How does intervene's "intercept damage" function work? Like if I intervene to someone when they have the phantasmal parasite on them on Kul'Tharok, does that help reduce the damage? What about if they're getting targeted by a dark bolt or something? Will I intercept that?

limber linden
#

Is shield slam damage still affected by block value?

dawn canyon
#

intervene just eats white hits

damn got annihilated in 16+ SD. Necrotic is tough as fuck

dark lark
#

Edit: I'm wrong

urban portal
#

it is necrotic week

#

its tuesdasy

#

unless you are a EU shitter

woven lance
#

Does using outburst on thunderclap affect the movement speed part?

sick sentinel
#

I want to try out tanking and as a fury main I obv wanna stay in warrior but prot is getting a lot of hate. Is it really that bad compared to other specs?

jagged pier
#

No

jagged pier
woven lance
#

How does that work? 40% movement speed reduction x 200% = 120%?

#

Does it become a root?

jagged pier
#

No

#

20% extra

#

So its 60%

woven lance
#

Why 20%?

jagged pier
#

I dunno,

#

I dont care ither

sick sentinel
#

wait

jagged pier
#

Shouldnt be used on TC ever

sick sentinel
#

whats the wording used

#

fuckin, kill an enemy, vs defeat and enemy levels shit going on here

woven lance
sick sentinel
#

200% more effective

#

so, it takes base number already calculated, and then times that by 2, and adds that

jagged pier
woven lance
#

But tbf they are pushing the highest keys in the world

sick sentinel
#

WTB piercing howl for prot on double the cd

woven lance
#

Yeah, how does prot deal with necrotic?

sick sentinel
#

bounding stride or kyrian potion or externals

chrome falcon
#

you have an aoe stun and two mobility spells

#

necrotic is a joke

#

intervene your ranged/healer or just leap away

#

or just press shockwave and backpedal

shut summit
#

definitely points in m+ where using it on tclap for threat isn't wrong, it definitely isnt ideal but saying "never" isnt quite right

sick sentinel
#

kleia kyrian makes you litterally immune to necrotic for a short duration

shut summit
#

when you play with good enough players / you dont have tricks someone pulling just instakills them

sick sentinel
#

but, yeah, if you can't do any of that, y ou just coordinate with healer/range dps to stand at max range

#

intervene awy and have group effort slows

chrome falcon
#

doesn't necrotic last 4 seconds

woven lance
#

I think it's 5 sec

urban portal
#

yeah

#

its like piss low

jagged pier
#

Necrotic wasnt a thing before the 2 nerfs, not a thing now

chrome falcon
#

so yeah literally just

sick sentinel
#

yes, well, if your at 39 stacks and got 10 dudes attacking you, 4 seconds can be forver

chrome falcon
#

shockwave and walk away a bit

sick sentinel
#

and elites don't get hit by alot of cc or slows

chrome falcon
#

if the pack has casters and you have some crit you can literally just rng reset

sick sentinel
#

right oh its only 4 seconds, well, pretend its your driving a car on a road average speed and you get driving debuff XYZ for 4 seconds, your still in the car the car is still moving,

urban portal
#

tclap and leap away

#

its not that hard

#

and then you good

#

intervene a ranged

#

you have a lot of ways to get out

chilly brook
#

If it did

#

Sco would be relevant again

jagged pier
#

i mean its the first ive heard of tattman doing the highest keys but meh i dont really watch streamers so 🤷

woven lance
#

Who's Sco?

chilly brook
#

Leader of old Method

#

and new Method I guess

#

Multi world first tank

#

Also plays terribly from a optimization standpoint, he literally didn't press shield block in BFA and called the class terrible

timber slate
jagged pier
#

i mean u wouldnt be able to see with his ui tbh

chilly brook
#

80% of the time playing at a high level has more to do with just doing basic gameplay mechanics well and surrounding yourself with others who do the same

#

Not necessarily playing the individual specs at a super high level

#

This applies more to tanks than literally any other role

I'm perma karma'd because I dared to say some design decisions were not great and that a certain company needs to figure out a direction they want to go in and stick with it or they'll never release a game and just continue wasting money reworking systems from the ground up every year until they run out of money from selling spaceship jpegs

What's the best banner uptime you guys have been able to get in dungeons? I seem to consistently get 65%. I'm thinking that could be higher but not sure what the max can be

93%

Max is 95%+ in combat that I've seen

not very used to this acronyms what does AFE mean ?

#

Is wearing a ring without haste just a mistake at this point? Could make a sizeable ilvl ring upgrade to a vers/mast ring with socket, or just change out one 278 shield for one with haste

lofty widget
brittle siren
#

ah the area of haste ?

lofty widget
#

yea

brittle siren
fathom jetty
#

23 ilvl

lofty widget
#

probably the ring then if your haste doesnt drop too low

fathom jetty
#

Short term I'd imagine the ring is better, but if I'd rather just grab a 272 non socketed haste ring over 278 with socket, I think I'd rather grab the shield?

#

Just curious how important haste on rings is, I guess

lofty widget
#

well it's our best stat and since jewellry doesnt have main stat you c an generally drop a few ilvls to get haste

#

wouldnt drop more than 13-16 ilvls tho

#

but if you have 272 haste ring available then the shield is def the pick

urban portal
#

socket is like 10 ilvl

fathom jetty
#

Thanks. Don't think I can resist an ilvl upgrade with socket anyway

Guys, what is the new dk position now with the strength nerf?

urban portal
#

yeah shields too

#

free i thought you were an expert on tank balance, what happened

#

you were telling us the nerf didnt do anything, then said dk was unplayable, then they changed it to a much less harsh nerf

sick sentinel
#

honestly, no idea why my outplayed is getting all fucked up, but i'm going to upload it when it does record a full video one of these times

lyric geode
#

Still I believe as it is right now Bdk is perfectly balanced and not overpowered. The new nerfs will cripple the spec.

lofty widget
#

it's definitely too strong atm

lyric geode
#

Still, banner>>>DRW uptime.

urban portal
#

nerfing DRW uptime made blood unplayable

lyric geode
#

maintaining 100% uptime on banner is SOO GOOD and stronog

urban portal
#

missing a dice roll on blood means lights out

#

and that can happen over a course of 11 minutes

#

this nerf is much more reasonable

lofty widget
#

how much uptime can dks get on their drw?

urban portal
#

nerfing str still nerfs their parry btw

#

just not as much

lyric geode
#

That is why it is too harsh imho, its nerf

urban portal
#

you did say to nerf their damage

#

blizzard nerfed their damage

lyric geode
#

Omfg, their damage output is tied to gavel. Nerfing gavel wouldnt AFFECT their survivibility ffs

urban portal
#

then we give another 4% to every other 2h strength class?

lofty widget
#

nerfing gavel affects other specs too tho

lyric geode
#

Nerfing gavel for tank specs. Which means only bdks

urban portal
#

how do you propose they do that in an elegantly coded way

#

aura buffs only affects class abilities

lyric geode
#

Imagine an overpowered weapon, that is designed in the hands of dps, it can be yield by tank too

urban portal
#

i mean im totally down to nerf gavel btw

#

so i dont have to hit up jailer every week

#

you just cant collateral 5 specs because of blood dk

lyric geode
#

You can nerf it only for tanks though

urban portal
#

how do you propose we do that

#

in an elegant manner

lyric geode
#

it is just numbers

urban portal
#

yes how do you word it so it only nerfs it for tanks

#

because as it stands you cant nerf a proc for a specific spec

lyric geode
#

only tanks can yield gavel

lofty widget
#

unholy, frost, fury too

#

arms^

lyric geode
#

Only bdk as from all other tanks can yield gavel

urban portal
#

so you say "gavel now does x% less damage if wielded by a tank spec"

#

do you realize how awkward that sounds

urban portal
#

borrowed power doesnt change between classes and specs

#

a phial does just as much damage on arms as frost mage

#

thats not how the game works

#

i propose just give gavel some secondary stats and nerf the proc

lyric geode
urban portal
#

this game is all illusion of balance, you balance a class based on their best gear

#

not their bumfuck ilvl 250 counterpart

lyric geode
#

Now with the strength nerf everyone is unhappy.

#

They got their survivability reduced

urban portal
#

if you can write a coherent sentence that could go into the patch notes to nerf gavel specifically for blood, do it

shell shale
#

The strength nerf is instead of the dancing rune wep one

urban portal
lofty widget
#

it's like, if fury did too much dmg you wouldnt go nerfing 2 handers specifically for them just because they can dual wield

#

you'd tune down their abilities or whatever instead

lyric geode
#

Blizzard didnt let banner 100% uptime for fury on live...

shell shale
#

It wasn't 100% for fury was it?

lyric geode
#

Still let infinite DRW stacks on bdks

#

I blame blizzard

lofty widget
#

exactly, and they also nerfed their tier instead of some weird specific item nerf

urban portal
#

it was neither 100% on fury nor blood

#

on fury it was quite long yes

#

but that was patchwerk full bis

safe thistle
#

they increased the rage needed to reduce banner cd on fury so they cant acheive 100% uptime yes

lyric geode
#

They honestly, dont know what they want

safe thistle
#

but thy did that before unity came out

lyric geode
#

Its like your girlfriend, Do you want to do that. At first yes, then actually no.

urban portal
#

the thing about DRW is that you will literally die to jailer in 2 autos

#

if you dont have it

safe thistle
#

same with shieldd block

urban portal
#

even with DRW up you had a 20% chance to die instantly

#

with shield block up we will never die

safe thistle
#

if its down you die

lyric geode
#

Yes, i know. I am saying that

safe thistle
#

thats why you have other cd

urban portal
#

but blood doesnt have any other cds

#

ibf, VB, lichborne

10% leech gonna stop you from getting 1 shot?

#

ibf 3 minute cd?

lyric geode
#

Nerf gavel. And it would only affect damage only

safe thistle
#

dude play the class

urban portal
#

the thing about blood dk is that they are dying RANDOMLY

safe thistle
#

lichborne conduit give nearly 20% reduced dmg

urban portal
#

you know when shield block is down

#

you dont know when you are going to die with DRW up

#

even in the #1 blood parse it happened

#

they wouldve wiped with DRW up if the guy didnt get a 6% parry

safe thistle

serioulsy i play both class and dk right now during DRW are stupid you dont need any other defensive you only go all out dps

Because the damage is magical

its all physical except the pillar dmg

nothing else

the autos doing 300k unmitigated

prot warrior would be hypothetically decent

safe thistle

thats why warrior are better than other tanks

urban portal

but we need to ask sense

safe thistle

the onnly time i died is other tank didnt taunt on swap and i have debuff and get obliterated

#

otherwise the dmg received is not that scary for healere compared to ther class

hell , i need way less EHPS than monk

lyric geode

EHPS?\

external healing received

how much you rely on healers

safe thistle

you gotta look at EHPS on logs not hps

lyric geode

ah ok

I dont raid as prot tank

I dont know that

for any tank you look at ehps though

also a valuable metric in m+

also, I look at my hps on my healer

and see how much %

You open it, go to korthia, do the exchange and send the boa ash and cinders to alt

distant crystal

you do lose llike 15% or so

#

personally i'd rather use my main's flux though

#

it can be precious on alts between crafting leggos and catalyzing tier

scenic mural
#

Yeah its worth the tradeoff, my mains flux has paid for all my alts leges, so the flux from campaign can go towards tier

The biggest QoL they could do is make all/most currencies account-wide, and give an account-wide "consumables bank" that you can use consumables from without putting them in your bags

is bracers ilvl upgrade? if so that's the pick 👍

bracers for sure, trinkets are horrible, ring has bad stats (and low ilvl) and helmet is lower ilvl

complicate it further i normally play fury in m+ but lately having fun with prot hence doing prot spec already ahve double 278 2hander. so pants would be better for fury, but not sure it's enough to matter

safe thistle

#

then decide

naive panther

yeah could to see difference i guesss

#

sims put legs 16 ahead of shield

urban portal

Well shields don’t sim well in damage

#

Ofc

safe thistle

you just sims the legs to see if you wanna pick them

#

if they are a good upgrade to your fury

#

but if your serious for prot just take shield 😛 if its Off-spec i can understand

vernal vale
#

well i got a 278 shield even if it doesnt have any haste on it

#

other choices where the stupid armor kit trinket

#

and 278 legs which i already have

its not much

spectral reach in ToP on the kultharok boss, that doesnt do damage right? it just "deflects" aka negates the dmg it would have done? so no point in trying to cheese it somehow?

avoidance helps you live rot which tanks should never die to

it doesnt help with autos
